Preview of the WCC this year. Gonzaga is the predicted winner (of the conference and tourney) but there are definitely some good words for Portland.

If the Pilots can do some damage in the non-conference portion of their schedule, which features three games at the loaded 76 Classic in Anaheim, a home game against Oregon, and trips to Nevada and Washington, an at-large bid is a definite possibility.

This is where he loses me...

Now, Portland, boasting five returning starters (four of them seniors) has rebuilding Gonzaga in its sights.
